[SVN] Wrong list?

[David Rogers]

More details, you say?

1) What They Are

DW Templates are regular HTML files that use particular logic 
encapsulated in standard XHTML (SML, actually) comment tags: <!-- 
Comment here... --> (example). There is a convention to the tags and 
their usage, but it's horribly buried in the DW development site, 
various blogs, and the DW documentation. I've never found a definitive 
list.

2) What They Do

The tags are used by DW to cordon off sections of the (X)HTML as 
editable or no, to indicate inclusion from external file snippets 
(called Library Items) or other template files altogether (called 
'Nested Templates'), and to pass around variable-like value 
assignments. These features are mostly used by DW exclusively, but the 
logic is no secret.

3) What I Propose

For those of us who still like to build XHTML sites in text or who use 
programmatic approaches to building sites, it would be advantageous to 
be able to build DW templates, as well, based upon the programming 
logic we define. However, with no concrete reference on the subject, 
this becomes problematic.

Hence, a Textmate bundle that:
   1) Provides a reference for the DW Template Tag library
   2) Performs the 'Validate Template' action according to DW Template 
logic
   3) Generates DW Template Tags automatically from a standard Bundle 
interface

Thoughts, ideas, critiques?
